  1. The different colours of different stars are due to the variation of
    1. temperature
    2. pressure
    3. density
    4. radiation from them
Correct Option: A

Shortly after blackbody radiation was understood, it was noticed that the spectra of stars look extremely similar to blackbody radiation curves of various temperatures, ranging from a few thousand Kelvin to ~50,000 Kelvin. The obvious conclusion is that stars are similar to blackbodies, and that the colour variation of stars is a direct consequence of their surface temperatures.
